What has happened to
our country? To our world?
I’m the first to tell you that “nobody said life was easy”
as my mother often warned me. And there is much to frown about, cry over, and
exclaim in anger or frustration in life. But our emotions – and we are an emotional species – also include
laughter, wonder, and tolerance, to make life bearable and at times, even
enjoyable.
Our governments and others who CLAIM to have our best
interests at heart, however, are eroding not only our desire to laugh and view
this incredible world – and society – with wonder, but they are destroying our
tolerance of each other … when it exists at all.
In what way, you ask? Make that wayS.
- By creating laws that punish the minority and leave the
majority frustrated because they are penalized too
- By pitting race against race in immigration and “minority”laws
- By constructing such a convoluted and corrupt lawmaking
system that even lawmakers become entangled in their webs of deceit
- By extorting taxes and spending the funds irresponsibly,
causing higher taxes while under-funding the intended (and advertised) faction
- And so many more …
Add ALL of these government sanctions along with natural disasters,
common personal ailments and life pains … it gives pause to consider exactly
why should we smile? I wish I could offer a rosy alternative.
